Opening a second modal window using jQUery
Posted on 2011-03-12
I am using the jQuery Tools Ui to create modal windows. The problem I am having is everytime I click a e-mail link, I need to display the same modal window alerting users about a disclaimer. If the uses accepts, then the e-mail address will load in a e-mail client. If they close the window nothing happens. When a user clicks a different e-mail link, the e-mail client opens with no modal. I need ht modal to always open when an e-mail is clicked. Please see the code below:
$(document).ready(function(){
// First type see comment for example #1
$('span.mailme').each(function(){
var spt = "#" + $(this).attr("id");
//alert(spt);
$(spt).html('<a class="modalInput" rel="#disclaimer" href="mailto:'+$(spt).html().replace('|','@').replace('/','').replace(':','.')+'">'+$(spt).html().replace('|','@').replace('/','').replace(':','.')+'</a>');
var clicked;
var links = [];
var triggers = $(".modalInput").overlay({ mask: { color: '#333', loadSpeed: 200, opacity: 0.9 }, onBeforeClick: function(event) { var element = e.originalTarget || e.srcElement; clicked = element.id }, closeOnClick: false });
var buttons = $("#disclaimer button").click(function(e) {
var yes = buttons.index(this) === 0;
if(yes) {
window.location = links[clicked].attr("href");
links[clicked].overlay().close();
}
});
});
});
The email address examples are:
Joe Schmoe, Finance Assistant - <span class="mailme" id="email2">/schmoe|testdomain:com</span><br />
Joe Schmoel Jr, Systems Manager - <span class="mailme" id="email3">/schmoel|testdomain:com</span>
Here is the modal window:
<div class="modal" id="disclaimer">
<h3>DISCLAIMER</h3>
<div class="dtext">

</div>
<!-- input form. you can press enter too -->
<div class="buttons">
<button type="submit"> OK </button>
<button type="button" class="close"> Cancel </button>
</div>
<br />
</div>
Any ideas?

Just always close the window before you open a new one.
<script>
var saveLink;
.
.
onBeforeClick: function(event) {
if (saveLink) links[saveLink].overlay().
and where you open the window do
saveLink = element.id
<script>
var saveLink;
.
.
onBeforeClick: function(event) {
if (saveLink) links[saveLink].overlay().
and where you open the window do
saveLink = element.id

Try to just change this
onBeforeClick: function(event) {
if (clicked) links[clicked].overlay().c
var element = e.originalTarget || e.srcElement;
clicked = element.id
},
onBeforeClick: function(event) {
if (clicked) links[clicked].overlay().c
var element = e.originalTarget || e.srcElement;
clicked = element.id
},
Hmm...doesn't seem to work. Here is the updated code based on your last post:
<script>
$(document).ready(function
// First type see comment for example #1
$('span.mailme').each(func
var spt = "#" + $(this).attr("id");
//alert(spt);
$(spt).html('<a class="modalInput" rel="#disclaimer" href="mailto:'+$(spt).html
var clicked;
var links = [];
var triggers = $(".modalInput").overlay({
var buttons = $("#disclaimer button").click(function(e)
// get user input
var yes = buttons.index(this) == 0;
// do something with the answer
if(yes) {
window.location = triggers.eq(0).attr("href"
onBeforeClick: function() {
if (clicked) {
links[clicked].overlay().c
}
var element = e.originalTarget || e.srcElement;
clicked = element.id;
}
}
});
});
</script>
I am getting an error with the onBeforeClick function
<script>
$(document).ready(function
// First type see comment for example #1
$('span.mailme').each(func
var spt = "#" + $(this).attr("id");
//alert(spt);
$(spt).html('<a class="modalInput" rel="#disclaimer" href="mailto:'+$(spt).html
var clicked;
var links = [];
var triggers = $(".modalInput").overlay({
var buttons = $("#disclaimer button").click(function(e)
// get user input
var yes = buttons.index(this) == 0;
// do something with the answer
if(yes) {
window.location = triggers.eq(0).attr("href"
onBeforeClick: function() {
if (clicked) {
links[clicked].overlay().c
}
var element = e.originalTarget || e.srcElement;
clicked = element.id;
}
}
});
});
</script>
I am getting an error with the onBeforeClick function
that still doesn't work...getting an error in ie. Also once the overlay is closed it won't re-open...my fix for ths was to repeat the code foe each popup instance...i was hoping to simplify it.
Bus uing the following...it worked
$(document).ready(function
$('span.mailme1').each(fun
var spt = "#" + $(this).attr("id");
$(spt).html('<a href="mailto:'+$(spt).html
});
});
the clas name could stay the same but the id had to be different.
$(document).ready(function
$('span.mailme1').each(fun
var spt = "#" + $(this).attr("id");
$(spt).html('<a href="mailto:'+$(spt).html
});
});
